      @@lifeline.6144 i don't want to shock you that actually many status in greece has broken noses, its a normal thing, also most Egyptian status actually doesn't have big noses, Egyptians drew kush with different features, In set i tomb you can see they drew greeks, iraqi, And east africans (kush) , kushties were drawn with black skin big eyes and noses with different shape of head, Also ramses ii was drawn chasing them away, In nine bows of amnehtop ii enemies of Egypt were drawn among them were kush, they were drawn different again, Ancient Egyptians made sure to draw the black different, but not only them, also persians, When persians came to Egypt, The king of persia wanted a statue in the Egyptian style, then behind the statue he did nine bows and each had an enemie, there were indian, iraqi, Egyptian, kush and others.
      Well each name had a person of the nation on it, each nation person was drawn, but when we come to kush, under it was 𓃀𓂋𓄿𓆬𓎡 which meant black, while under Egyptian they wrote kemet, They drew kush with very different features than the Egyptians, with different type of face.
      Everyone described the black from east africa different than ancient Egyptians? But still you say the opposite. If you need the name of statue i will give it to you with welcome arms

      @@lifeline.6144 You will tell me but the ancient Egyptians drew men brown, That is true. Actually it was a tradition to draw men in a brown-redish skin and women in a yellow and light skin most of the time . not only ancient Egyptians did that but minoan which is a civilization in south Europe, drew men in Brown skin and women in white skin. Others used the same way.
      But now lets come to the living statues, If we see the statues drawn with clothes, features, hair, even skin, we see that its nothing alike the africans you say, for example the seated scribes, princess Nofret, prince Rohtep.
      We can't deny there were people with dark skin like the Egyptian nubians, but were they all dark Egyptians? no it was just a little percentage because average Egyptian isn't like that.!

      Yes! I believe the name was pronounced phonetically, “Ashasut”, soft “t” at the end. The liars that “wrote” the history books we’re allowed, as you know the old saying, didn’t like women, still don’t, and that’s why they worked so hard to destroy the true history, destroy statues, etc. I am definitely team Hatshepsut despite disagreeing with the spelling and pronunciation though.

      It should be noted that Cleopatra was the last ruler claiming the title of Pharaoh (and even then, she was no true Pharaoh, nor was she Egyptian, being of the Greek Ptolemaic dynasty left behind by Alexander's conquest of Egypt). Yes, she probably had some Egyptian blood, and she certainly styled herself as a Pharaoh (just as her greek predecessors did), but Egypt had already lost its true independence some time ago after its conquest by the Achaemenid Persian Empire, and then by Alexander.
      Also, given the sheer length of Egypt's presence as an independent entity, the vast amount of time spanning ancient Egypt would give rise to (as the channel's comment put it), about a dozen female pharaohs. Again, as another comment suggested, Hatshepsut is a very intriguing example, and is perhaps the best known (even if her successors likely attempted to erase her from history).
      It should be remembered that the Pyramids were older to Cleopatra than Cleopatra is to us... putting the ridiculous timescale of ancient Egypt into perspective.

      @@ianbrewster8934 It seems that creators of lists as Turin king list, Saqqara canon and Karnak canon all viewed her as legitimate ruler.
      Why she was excluded from Abdos list is unknown. Some might say that because of her sex, as two others women who ruled before Seti I's reign are also absent from this list.
      This is even more curious as Abydos list was made during Seti I, but Saqqara canon made during reign of his son (Ramesses II) again contains her name, as if reception of her person changed on the course of few decades. (And she was dead for 4 centuries when both lists were made...)
      It is also unknown why other female pharaohs to that date (Hatshepsut and Neferneferuaten) were absent from list. Some might say that the reason was entirely their sex, BUT for example Neferneferuaten was an heir to heretic king Akhenaten who was also excluded, despite being male. So maybe female pharaohs were omitted because for most cases they kept their power in shady ways?
      Anyways, despite being absent on Abydos list, Sobekeneferu is the ONLY female pharaoh whose name was ever recorded in (known) egyptian king lists before Ptolemaic times, and this made her case very unique.
      During Ptolemaic period (Cleopatra's dynasty) Greek-Egyptian priest Manetho made list which contains names of four historical female pharaohs (and alleged fifth), not only Sobekneferu, but also that erased rulers - Hatshepsut, Neferneferuaten and Twosret. It means that there MUST have been some lists or documents where names of "missing queens" where preserved - they just didn't survive to our times.
      There were female pharaohs after Manetho, but as far I known, there's no king list from that period, so it's hard tell how they were treated in memory of subjects compared to their predecessors.
      I hope I helped! ;D

    Sobekneferu was at the end of the 12th Dynasty. What about Nitocris, at the end of the 6th Dynasty? When her brother, the Pharaoh, was assassinated, she seized the crown and hunted down his assassins. Just because the story came from Herodotus is not sufficient reason to jump to the conclusion that she never existed. You can prove that someone existed...you cannot prove that they did not, just because you can't corroborate it. (Nitocris and Sobekneferu are two of my favorite ancient Egyptian noteworthies. There was also a similar story about Sobekneferu. Nitocris seized the throne just before the First Intermediate Period, Sobekneferu just before the Second Intermediate Period. Some scholars have suggested that the break-down in the Pharaonic administrative structure is what allowed the ascension of women to the throne, as well as caused the chaos of the two Intermediate periods.)

      Some were broken off by the statue falling, some were maimed by successors, some by invading armies and some (supposedly) by archeologists to hide the negroid features to further a myth that the ancients were not of Sub-Saharan ancestry or mixed ancestry. Supposedly, Napoleon's soldiers used some statues for target practice.

    True that men had power and greatness that showed up in history. In ancient times, Pharaohs were usually males because Horus was a male, but people tend to forget that behind that male power, it is actually the female who holds real power. Like Isis, the mother of Horus was the actual figure that woman is the one who gave an opening for Egypt to thrive. Sobekneferu is the actual example of a woman who needs no man to hold power to make her country greater than all the pharaohs before could have dreamed of.
